Is our democracy more democratic if the fact the DNC was undermining our democracy was kept secret? Maybe Russia was making our democracy better, and we should be thanking them?
I make the jokes, but I assume we interfere in every russian election, and that russia interferes in every American election. And you can toss China into that meddling as well. That's just how the world works.
Just because the world works that way doesn't mean it should. If we interfere with Russian elections, we should stop. We should fortify ourselves against foreign election tampering and interference as well. The US election should be a democratic process for US citizens, not any foreign power.
